Alan Shearer perfectly sums it up after Newcastle United crush Arsenal 4-0 en route to Wembley
Alan Shearer a very happy man after Wednesday night.
A brilliant display by Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
It could and maybe should have been more than 2-0, as Murphy and Gordon got the goals, plus a number of other chances going begging.
Whilst after only four minutes and then that lengthy VAR review, seeing the lines they have drawn,, I still don’t see Alexander Isak any worse than level, as he went through and lashed it past Raya into the top corner.
There was no luck about this game, Newcastle United seriously good and well worth their victory.
A 2-0 win which made it a 4-0 thrashing of Arsenal over the two legs.
Alan Shearer taking to Twitter to perfectly sum it all up:
“That was a proper performance man.
“Arsenal couldn’t live with the intensity.
“Better than them tonight in every position.
“Hey Ian Wright, talk to me about our boy Isak against your 2 centre backs!!!”
